Conga variations, free lesson by Michael de Miranda

[@KwandoRay]

Hello, Maestro. As always, "YOU'RE THE BEST!" Thank you very much for these great rhythm arrangement variations, they are very nice, traditional and professional and certainly, expertly taught. Then again, we can only expect the best from a true, Maestro, as you are.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you very much for your comment!! I really appreciate it!!

[@JosueNYC]

Michael i started playing the congas 2 weeks ago , Everything i know i have learned from your videos. Thank you !!!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you and I hope you have fun with the congas!!

[@peacefulpsyche]

YESSSS! Thank you! this is exactly what I need to be practicing right now :) I've worked my way through a lot of your conga videos always having fun exploring the various rhythms of the world. Polishing up my fills now will surely help with my learning and give me a better understanding of all future ethnic rhythms. I love all of your videos especially finding the ones pertaining the congas to be most fun. Thank you again!!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Your welcome and I'm glad you're enjoying my video's!!

[@jimmiranda]

All of your videos are very helpful. Way more informative than anything LP has put out. Their pros are amazing musicians but terrible instructors. You break it down and chart the music. I have always wanted to improve my improvisation and you have helped me tremendously!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Your welcome! I'm glad you this video and I wish you good luck with practicing!!

[@jimmiranda]

have you ever transcribed tumbao de Patato Valdes?

[@martinakramberger4384]

Thank you for this great gift you've offered again. You're very talented both: musician and teacher. Your videos are easily understandable and i like your calm and modest style very much.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Your welcome Martina. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@anjanadayal5819]

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

[@keithcollier5271]

You have me getting closer to poncho Sanchez variations wow thanks for everything

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you! On my Patreon channel I have a video about Poncho Sanchez. Perhaps it is interesting for you, if you are interested in his solos.

[@andyromero6623]

You are the best Michael. I have learn so much with you. I don't have yet the independence that you do but I keep at it. Thank you so much for your step by step free lessons, specially the three parts Bomba and Plena from Puerto Rico, but the all good.

[@percussionquintet]

Your 3 excellent conga variations are very practical. You give excellent and easy to follow explanations in your lessons. Thank you very much.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thanks Russell, I'm glad you like the video!

[@brenfratica]

Many, many thanks Michael for this clear, precise, very useful (and free!) tutorial. Your joy in sharing your passion and evident respect for the learner is obvious. Cheers from South London

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

[@klaasloorbach7026]

Bedankt Michael voor deze duidelijke lessen..ben beginend conga speler en heb veel aan deze lessen..groet Klaas.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Klaas Loorbach Graag gedaan, Klaas. Fijn dat je wat aan mijn video's hebt. Ik wens je veel plezier toe!

[@moss52]

Nice video. I often look for some nice simple tumbao variations and you have provided some nice ones in a very clear way............thanks!!!

[@mongofan1]

Thanks for another excellent lesson, Michael. The challenge for me in understanding variations such as these is learning exactly where to begin the variation and where to return to the tumbao. You always make it so clear. You are one of the best teachers on the web. Thanks again, Wayne

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you Wayne! I'm glad my video's are useful for you. Good luck!!

[@marcoromo9252]

Michael, Thank you very much! Great variations for me to practice. I also want to say it's been a blessing to have you provide such fun, easy to follow tutorials on latin percussion over the last few years. I can definitely say it's because of your videos, I have become a much better conga player! I especially enjoyed the guarapachangeo on 3 congas video. Would it be possible in the future to have a tutorial on guarapachangeo variations? Again, thanks much.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you very much Marco! I'm glad you are enjoying my video's! And I'll look into this guarapachangeo.

[@mariopalomo9691]
